    I really don’t understand how they can so rabidly defend atrocious behavior by dictators and strongmen and then claim to be left-wing. Do they not realize these fascists they are defending are right-wing?

      Authoritarians care about authoritarianism more than they care about political or ideological differences.

      The authoritarianism is the point. The politics is the justification to be authoritarian.
